Not Blocked, Just Busy

Published by Cambios under Meta Edit This

Ril asked this question in a comment: “Writer’s Block?”

That is a good question, but it is not the problem. I have been super busy with work MAKING games lately, and haven’t had time to write about them. I also haven’t played any new games since Spore, so I haven’t had reviews to post for you either. Tsk tsk on me.

I have also been hoping that if I gave Today.com a little time, they’d release a few new style setups that would make post and comment formatting a little prettier. I am going to take a look at that today and see if they added anything.

So, are any of my readers still checking here? If so, drop me a comment. Feel free to suggest a topic you’d like me to address from a game developer’s perspective.

I probably will not be able to post as many anti-WoW raiding posts, since I have no plans to buy their expansion. As a result, my knowledge of the game is going to fall way behind, and it will be very easy for the die hard supporters to rightly say “You don’t know how the game is now.” Of course, they always say such things even when the game is not fundamentally different. I mean the first expansion did not make fundamental changes, and from what I have read the second one will not either. And why should it? They have millions of customers who like the game the way it is. Fundamentally changing it would be unfair to all those customers. Let someone else make a different style of MMO and let people who want something different play that. That is why I don’t understand Blizzard’s recent habit of unleashing their PR blitzkrieg to slam any new MMO that comes out. It is good for Blizzard if customers have choice - even their customers.
